IDs needed for Salem historical photos

SALEM - Over the years the Salem Historical Society has received hundreds of photographs of Salem and of other topics. Often these pictures are not fully identified which requires efforts to determine the view and/or the individuals related to Salem's history.

At 10 a.m. June 4, the society will offer its first of hopefully many opportunities for the community to assist with the identification. This session will be held as part of the "History in the Round" initiated recently. These sessions will be held in the Dale Shaffer Library meeting room at 239 S. Lundy Ave. Although registration is not necessary, it will help with arrangements by calling 330-337-8514. Light refreshments will be provided.
